Inside Indiana Sports Breakfast with Kent Sterling

Colts biggest training camp questions will be whether the two Matts can play - and whether Kenny Moore will show up without an extension!  The joint practices against the Lions will be fascinating!  

(at 10:00) NBA Draft Day is tomorrow, and the Pacers will do everything they can to secure Purdue's Jaden Ivey, including a potential deal to send #6 and Malcolm Brogdon to the Kings for the fourth pick!  John Wall has some serious stones for exercising his $47.4 million player option after playing 113 games over the last five seasons at a cost of $158M.

Parris Campbell's broken foot is one thing I cannot blame Carson Wentz for!  Colts fans need to breathe deep and grant GM Chris Ballard a little patience in dealing with the thin receiver position!  Pacers ready for their chance to get a potential star at #6!  Will it be Jaden Ivey, Shaedon Sharpe, Keegan Murray, or Bennedict Mathurin?  Hope about a bold dice roll with a boom/bust type and sure thing good player after trading into the rear of the lottery?  Former Purdue forward Caleb Swanigan passes away at just 25.  Five years ago tomorrow he became a first round pick of the Portland Trailblazers.

Chris Ballard continues to sign defensive linemen, but are very thin at receiver.  Will the Colts suffer as Ballard continues to ignore the receiver depth issue?  

(at 9:15) Jaden Ivey will not workout for the Pacers, but what does Kevin Pritchard need to see from him to know what the Pacers would be getting in the best Purdue Boilermakers pro prospect since Glenn Robinson?  

(at 13:18) Why does ESPN continue yammering about Kyrie Irving, and can Marquee's broadcast of Cubs games stop with telling us all the ways baseball sucks?

Colts should own the AFC South, and the reasons are Matt Ryan, Jonathan Taylor, and Michael Pittman.    

(at 11:13) Shaedon Sharpe showed a beautiful shot at his workout for the Pacers, but fears about his love of the game after not playing last year were not countered in his media availability.  Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon may be headed to the Hornets and either the Knicks or Wizards!

Would Colts be Super Bowl favorites with Andrew Luck still at quarterback.  How did his retirement affect the franchise?  

(at 9:30) Pacers searching for magic at #6 as they workout Shaedon Sharpe this morning - along with Jake LaRavia and Aaron Thompson.  Can Sharpe be the star piece the Pacers covet?  

(at 14:11) Cubs pay off my guarantee of a win against the Braves.  (at 14:30) Mike Pegram steps away from Peegs - Jeff Rabjohns to take over as publisher!

Chris Ballard has put together a team of unselfish and friendly players who love each other, but is that a trait that wins in the NFL?  It seems to work for the Warriors in the NBA!  

(at 10:53) Xavier Booker sounds like he might be a future Hoosier in his interview with Jeff Rabjohns.  Indiana has yet to offer Brownsburg's Kanon Catchings - which they may regret.  Purdue has offered the 2024 forward with impeccable pedigree.  

(at 14:00) Cubs have lost 10 straight, and the Braves have won 14 straight.  Cubs are +155 today, and I guarantee a Cubs win!

Left tackle is a massive position of need for the Colts, and they have two massive candidates for the job.  One is a young veteran and the other is an old rookie!  There are four other position battles that bear watching, including kicker Rodrigo Blankenship vs. a kicker to be named later!  

(at 8:54) Indiana Basketball knows which seven Big 10 teams it will play twice, and six are projected into the NCAA Tournament.  That means a Big 10 title will be earned by the Hoosiers if they win it!  

(at 11:19) Pacers with another workout tomorrow, but not with anyone projected to be taken in the first round! Who should they take?  

(at 15:50) Yeah, I'm rooting for Phil Mickelson to shoot 90 today - so does that make me a bad person?

Colts draft strategy is to value character as a priority, so they are not surprised when a players opts to do something else with his life - as Willis has.  

(at 7:48) Is it hypocritical to hammer Kenny Moore for sitting during minicamp while hoping to benefit from Terry McLaurin doing the same thing to the Commanders?  Not in my world!  

(at 9:27) US Open has began, and while I'm mostly indifferent to who wins, I sure would love the LIV Tour guys to miss the cut!  

(at 11:03) Indiana Pacers need a star - and that must be the goal on draft night one week from today.  The best shot at getting a star is to draft Jaden Ivey.

Khari Willis wasn't at minicamp, and we found out why this morning when he announced his exit from the Colts to devote his life to advancing the gospel.  Colts will save $2.7M against the cap, but fortunately the Colts are very deep at safety.  

(at 5:40) Falcons fans are as positive about Matt Ryan as a quarterback as the Eagles fans were negative about Carson Wentz.  Let's hope they are as accurate!  

(at 10:00) Pacers pre-draft workout included the son of NBA royalty who has grown tired of answered questions about dear old dad!  

(at 13:15) Emmis Indianapolis staff might wind up feeling very good about being acquired by Radio One.

Terry McLaurin would fit a huge area of need for the Colts, and Kenny Moore wants to get paid as a one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL!  Would Chris Ballard entertain the idea of a trade?  

(at 10:00) Indiana Pacers workout Big 10 player of the year Johnny Davis.  Should they take him?  Can he shoot?  

(at 13:50) IU's basketball programs with perfect 1,000 APRs, and the men's team is 33-1 to win the NCAA Tournament!
